India, Oct. 12 -- Saudi Arabia's King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh will remain closed until October 17 following a series of deadly attacks attributed to Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels, disrupting air travel and prompting airlines to extend flight cancellations.

A Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) issued on Monday said the airport would remain closed until 2100 GMT on October 17.

King Khalid International Airport is one of Saudi Arabia's major aviation hubs, serving international passengers and connecting the capital with destinations worldwide.
